Great opportunity for children to pick up practical life skills this summer in Kingston, because you're never too young to learn how to take care of your own bike.

Will Norman tonight on how London Cycling Campaign's Share The Joy fund helps communities: "The people using London's cycle networks still don't represent the city. We have to ensure the benefits are felt by everyone in our city to enable everyone from every background to feel cycling is for them."

Has any cyclist travelling on SWR trains EVER worked out how these ridiculous not-quite-velcro pseudo-straps actually work? Barely stretch to the second bike & definitely never stick together long enough to hold either... π€

Just 5 minutes in Dordrecht was more than enough to disprove the popular British myth that over 60 is too old to cycle. In fact, the 30-60 age group in the Netherlands ride the least, and Dutch women generally use a bike more than men. πͺπ²π΅

These photos, taken yesterday, seems a pretty accurate representation of the respect given to cycle lanes across Kingston at the moment, which seem more regularly blocked than I remember. [FYI @kingstoncycling.bsky.social]
